“We've got great protections in the law right now, if we have somebody that's serving a felony sentence, to deter them from registering to vote and then prosecuting them if they ultimately vote. And I've prosecuted some of those cases where felons have ultimately registered and voted.”

“We have five-month, or 20-week, protections in the law right now. I'm not advocating for any changes to that, and if there is going to be any change, that needs to be something that's voted on by the people and not decided on by politicians in Madison.”

“The failure we're seeing in the broken promises with the forensic testing at the (state) crime lab. We've seen, when I helped the attorney general get more crime lab positions in the '23 budget, when the nonpartisan audit came out a year later, we saw that those positions hadn't been filled, that they had less DNA analyst positions filled compared to 2020.”

“Well, one of the things we saw when he first ran for attorney general, he campaigned against federal lawsuits and said the office was too political. And now he's broken that promise, and that's essentially what his entire campaign is about. And so we see the consequences where the politics are coming before public safety.”

“There's no performance metrics in place.”

“So we have to ensure things like that are not happening, that we're protecting our active investigations and the privacy of people here in Wisconsin and not having some other state releasing that information.”
